Submitted by: Joe Weber2.0 OPEN VMS ALPHA PERFORMANCE TIP Logical Names Require More JTQUOTA on AXP Than VAX Systems Last Technical Review: 14-SEP-1994 PRODUCTS: OpenVMS VAX, All Versions OpenVMS AXP, All Versions COMPONENT: Memory Management SOURCE: Digital Equipment Corporation / DSNlink PROBLEM: Applications using Job Logical Names may have to increase the process JTQUOTA parameter when migrating applications from OpenVMS VAX to OpenVMS AXP. If JTQUOTA is not large enough on the AXP system, the following error results: %SYSTEM-F-EXLNMQUOTA, logical name table is full Current documentation does not point out this difference. SOLUTION: In order to fix the problem, increase the JTQUOTA value in AUTHORIZE for accounts using Job Logical Names. JTQUOTA does not affect other process quotas (such as BYTLM) and is used to place a limit on how many job logical names a process can create from the PAGEDYN pool area. (Process logicals are limited to the availability of room in CTLPAGES region of process space). To availability of JTQUOTA, use the DCL Command: $ SHOW LOGICAL/JOB/FULL (LNM$JOB_80A80A80) [kernel] [shareable] [Quota=(48,1024)] [Protection=(RWCD,RWCD,,)] [Owner=[X,Y]] In this example, the user has only 48 bytes left out of an initial value of 1024 bytes.
